No, truly adult humans are not crazy at all, and there are a number of them around.

Love ya, Jed.

Hey, Jed.  What's your take on marriage in America for men?  I know there's all sorts of circumstances, but in general?

No particular take on it other that in never delivers per the illusions held by the participants. Two illusions do not a reality make.

I'd rather do something that at least appears to deliver. What's your take on it?

Love ya, Jed.

Seems to me it's extremely hindering.  I don't know how one could find T/R being married.  But maybe it can be done.  Also, I'll likely be In Thailand for as long as I want in a month.  Is the Cambodia ashram there an option for me to go to?

Not at the time for that... marriage is not that big a barrier.

Love ya, Jed.

Hey, Jed.  When you say "You are being dreamed.", do you mean that you are actually being dreamed by something or someone else?  Seems that would explain why you don't exist.  Your a dream character.

You are a dreamed character and the dreamer is ''You''.

Love ya, Jed.

Hello, Jed.  So I was wondering if this getting close to TR.  I can't look at anything without it being filtered through my mind.  I wonder what a tree looks like or snow without my mind processing it.  Just to look at a tree for what it is and not how my mind wants to interpret it.  Is that getting closer to Truth?

Yes and no. You can't get closer to what you really are, to your True Nature... but you are on the right trail. Realizing the interpretive mechanism of mind is certainly a good start. Stick with it.

Love ya, Jed.

This might be an off the topic question, but I'm wondering what you eat and drink.  I mean, are you a fan of drinking a lot of water throughout the day?  Also wondering if your a vegetarian, vegan, anything you stay away from eating or favor?

I eat what everyone else eats... quite normal.. but something I wonder about is, although I live in the tropics I hardly drink a glass of water a day. And, I appear to be in good health. I have no explanation for that.

Love ya, Jed.

Thanks for the info.  I was wondering what an enlightened person consumes.  Sounds rather normal alright. 
On a different note, tonight I was wondering about what I'm seeing and thinking, and I grabbed my head with both hands and held it for a bit.  It was strange to think that everything in the world just has to do with this small thing in my skull.  Then I got really claustrophobic in my own body -- like I couldn't get out.  And I still feel that way.  I could run away or something, but the actual prison I'm in would be doing all the running.  It appears I can't get outta this thing.  I know it's impossible, but I'm gonna ask anyways... Can you leave your body while your alive or are you just flat out stuck in this thing?

I remember you said that T/R is NOT an experience.  Any experience is just mind doing mind things.  So... when a person wakes up, does he or she struggle with the dream coming back in or experiences coming back in?  I feel close to T/R, but my mind drifts off to experiences and thoughts: the past and the present.  When I'm here completely, I feel like a woke up and I'm free from my head.  Just can't hold it.
